Any failing freshman turn it around 2nd semester?

<p>update: S2 (he of the 4 F’s and 2 D’s first sem. of freshman yr…2008) graduated in May 2012.
After his horrendous start, he made the Honor Roll ( 3.0 or better) four semesters and Dean’s List (3.75) his final semester. He attended summer sch. twice to make up for the failed first sem. He graduated with a gpa of 3.05.<br>
He was a very avg. student in h.s. who wasn’t even sure he would attend a university until senior yr. so this has been a real victory for him. </p>

<p>His university is a notorious party school. It was in the top ten of the Playboy party sch. list a couple of years ago. S2 is no wallflower. He still spent plenty of time enjoying the college nightlife at school. He just learned how to balance it. His advice on how to have fun but still make decent grades…just go to class.</p>
